Laughter

"Rejoice in the Lord always..." - Philippians 4:4

March 20 is a day that we should remember. It is the International Day of Happiness. Only humans know how to laugh! Even in places where the language is unknown, your little smile can attract others to you. Do you know what happens when you laugh well? Your body will be relaxed for 45 minutes. Stress hormones will decrease. Hormones that are beneficial to the body like endorphins and serotonin increase, pain and stress decrease, and the mind becomes lighter. Our scripture also says to rejoice in the Lord always.

The person who means laughter in the scripture is Isaac. God called Abraham with the promise, "I will bless you and make you a great nation." Abraham was very wealthy. But despite receiving the promise, he was childless until he was 100 years old. His wife Sarah was not only 90 years old, but her womb had also died. When the angels of God came to Abraham again and blessed him with the fruit of his womb, Abraham, hearing this, said, "Will a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? "Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?" she said in her heart. Similarly, Sarah laughed in her heart (Genesis 18:12) saying, "I am old, and my Lord is old." In this way, both laughed. He blessed them with Isaac and blessed them with joy all their lives. We are also children of that Abraham

My dear ones! Are you crying and lamenting that your life is over and that you will never see good again? Are you shedding tears because of the pain of losses, failures, and illness? Talk to the Lord and lighten your heart. Read the scriptures and be strengthened in your relationship with God. Worldly happiness is only temporary. Caring and sharing doubles happiness. Yes, make Christ known. Help those in need. Double your happiness. Don't forget that our strength is to be happy in the Lord!
